1907

The Class of 1907 came through once more. The final figure for the 1965 Alumni Fund was $8,937.43. The dollar objective was $8400. There were 146 contributors. Bob Kenyon, our head Class Agent, all assistant class agents, members of our class, Mrs. Joe McCann, the widows, and sons and daughters of the families are to be congratulated.

One of our oldest classmates, Bill Jennings, of La Jolla, Calif., has been in poor health for some time and more recently his condition required surgery. Through another classmate, Rocky Hazen, also a La Jolla resident. Bishop Niles learned that this immediate experience of Bill's might prove fatal.

As Bill and Bishop had been constant friends through four years at prep school in Somerville, Mass., and then four years as roommates in Hanover, Bishop with your class secretary flew to San Diego on June 25. There we spent five days, where Bishop visited his old friend daily at the hospital renewing many early memories. While there we were entertained most cordially by Rocky and Allan Perkins 'OB who drove us constantly over this countryside and we visited at their homes overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We returned to Boston by way of San Francisco where we saw much of the city and the countryside during a 24-hour stop-over. All in all it was a most satisfying round trip for us both. Bill wished to be remembered to his many friends and classmates around Boston.

Judge McLane and Elizabeth celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 15. Edward Barker and Agnes of Rutherford, N. J., celebrated their 50th on June 8 while visiting their son in Michigan. Congratulations and best wishes from your classmates.

On Sunday morning Lura Kenyon drove Bob, Allan Brown, Ethel and myself up to North Haverhill, N. H., where we visited with Harley and Mattie Mann for a short time.
